1 Obesity Policy in the EU - evaluating the options PorGrow project Cross-national findings Erik Millstone University of Sussex e.p.millstone@sussex.ac.uk
2 The full title was: Policy options for responding to the growing challenge from obesity: a cross-national comparative study. Forecasting which policy options will be effective, requires understanding which options are judged likely to be effective and acceptable by stakeholder groups, and their reasons.
3 The project adopted a Multi- Criteria Mapping methodology. It enabled us to capture qualitative and quantitative aspects of those evaluations, criteria and reasons. The primary unit of analysis was public policy options.
4 The set of policy-options on which the project concentrated were those that are available to governments and collective European institutions such as the Council, the Commission, Parliament and WHO-Europe.
5 9 Partner countries
6 We selected: 7 core policy options and 13 discretionary options (additional options could also be added)
7 All were asked to evaluate 7 core options: Change planning and transport policies Improve communal sports facilities Set controls on food and drink advertising Control sales of foods in public institutions Mandatory nutritional information labelling Subsidize healthy foods Tax obesity-promoting foods
8 They could also to evaluate 13 discretionary options: Improve training for health professionals Reform Common Agricultural Policy Improve health education Introduce controls on food composition Set incentives to improve food composition More obesity research Require healthier catering menus
9 Include food and health in school curriculum Increased use of medication to control body weight Increased use of synthetic fats and artificial sweeteners Create new governmental body to co-ordinate policies relevant to obesity Control of marketing terms such as diet, light, lite Increase use of physical activity monitoring devices
10 Those options were clustered in 6 groups A. Exercise and physical activity-oriented B. Modifying the supply of and demand for foodstuffs C. Informational initiatives D. Educational and research initiatives E. Technological innovations F. Institutional reforms
11 The stakeholder groups are representatives of: Farming industry Food processing companies Large commercial catering chains Large food retailers Small health food retailers Public sector caterers (e.g. school meal providers) Consumer groups Senior government policy makers in health ministry Senior government policy makers in finance ministry Public health professionals
12 As well as Town and transport planners Life insurance industry Commercial sport or fitness providers School teachers Members of expert nutrition/obesity advisory committees Health journalists Advertising industry Pharmaceutical industry Public health non-governmental organisations Public interest sport and fitness NGOs Trades unions
13 > 14,000 option appraisal scores and ranks were collected, with detailed records of criteria of appraisal and conditionalities. Transcripts were analysed to identify the participants reasons for their selection of criteria and cores, weightings and ranks.
14 Aggregating across all participants, there was broad common ground that the costs of the various policy options were less important than the social and health benefits, efficacy, acceptability and practical feasibility of the options.

21 Interpreting the evidence Broad agreement on educational initiatives, uneven acceptance of regulatory controls (eg on marketing); broad opposition to financial instruments and technological fixes. Nuances: scores were highly conditional (eg what sort of nutritional labelling, transport policy). Inter-dependence: performance of one policy (eg education) depends on other policies (labelling and availability). Scoring bias? Discounting possible stakeholders evident selfinterest, on average, changed scores by +/- 4%.
22 Policy implications Policy-makers should implement some policies in each of the four main categories: 1) education, 2) physical activity 3) information and 4) change patterns of supply and demand for food and drink. Need to improve and sustain monitoring of diets, physical activity, and BMI levels, especially amongst particularly vulnerable groups to monitor impact of measures. Measures will be acceptable if they are seen to provide wider health and social benefits.
